On Wednesday evening, a woman around the age of 50 was moderately injured in a violent attack on Or Hachaim Street in Yerushalayim’s Old City, where she was struck by a man wielding an ax.
Authorities are investigating the incident as a potential terrorist attack.
Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency medical teams quickly responded, providing treatment to the conscious woman, who had sustained injuries to her upper body.
Security forces were also sent to the area to secure the scene.
MDA Senior EMT Yossi Kasuto described the events: “I was dispatched by the MDA control center to my neighbors’ home. I quickly arrived at the scene and saw a woman around 50 years old, fully conscious, lying with injuries to her upper body.”
He continued, “I provided her with life-saving medical treatment, and we transferred her to MDA’s special all-terrain vehicle, which evacuated her through the alleys while continuing treatment. She was then handed over to the mobile intensive care unit (MICU) waiting at Zion Gate, from where we transported her to the hospital while continuing medical care. Her condition was moderate and stable.”
